Government has yet again made a move on the country's mineral resources after the recent discovery of mas deposits of gold and platinum reserves in the Kariba area.
Preliminary geological surveys have shown deposits of gold and platinum in the Gache Gache area in Kariba district.
Mines and Mining Development Minister Walter Chidhakwa confirmed the latest addition to the country’s growing minerals find.
Chidhakwa said it would solely be the responsibility of the State to conduct mining activities in the area in line with a recent directive that all riverbed mining would be done by Government.
This is being done to protect the environment.
The mines minister revealed that heavy machinery had been ordered from South Africa and is expected in the country in the next few days.
The State has ordered 2 x 80 tonnes per hour Nelson Concentrators and other equipment.
The deposits were discovered around the confluence of Gache Gache as it flows into Lake Kariba.
Asked what mechanisms Government had put in place to avoid mistakes made in the Chiadzwa diamond fields, Chidhakwa said Government was not going to engage partners as it has the capacity to conduct mining in the area.
